SUMMARY:40th Anniversary Biscotto-Miller Fund
DESCRIPTION:Chicago\, 1985: A committee of theatre community volunteers created the Biscotto-Miller Fund as a response to the escalating AIDS/HIV epidemic and named it in memory of Tommy Biscotto and J. Pat Miller\, two of the first known outspoken victims of AIDS. 40 years later\, the Fund continues to provide emergency aid to Chicago theatre workers—now for any illness or injury—as part of Season of Concern. \nJoin us for an evening of story and song commemorating this occasion\, as well as one of the Fund’s first benefit events: Arts Against Aids.

SUMMARY:Against the Current: Parthenogenesis and Nontraditional Reproduction in the Deep
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the wild world of shark genetics with Kevin Feldheim\, the A. Watson III Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution at the Field Museum. Since 2001\, Kevin has been unraveling the mysteries of shark mating systems and population dynamics through cutting-edge genetic research. His latest deep-sea adventure? Exploring the fascinating phenomenon of parthenogenesis—a form of asexual reproduction—in sharks and rays. Partnering with aquariums around the country\, he’s investigating how this rare reproductive strategy could shape the future of conservation efforts for these awe-inspiring creatures. Kevin holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
